Solved ASUS Vivobook can't make a clean install of Windows 11??

Greetings.
A friend has just got a new ASUS Vivobook core i5, 16 Gbyte ram and 500Gbyte NVMe (running Windows 10 home). After using it for some days, he wanted to cleaninstall Windows 11. We then went here: Download Windows 11 and downloaded Create Windows 11 Installation Media.
After it finished making his USB-key, we rebooted and it started to boot from the USB-key. But when it ask where to install Windows 11, there is no drive to select!! It can't see the NVMe drive, allthough it is made in a Windows 10 booting from the same NVMe.
Ideas about what to do?

Check if you have latest BIOS. ASUS updated them (think) a month ago to assure BIOS is Windows 11 ready.

My installer didn`t see my new drive either, I just clicked next and the install forged ahead.
Worst case scenario, use the upgrade Assistant, run 11 for a bit, then do the clean install.

We did not have the option to click next, as the button was greyed out.
But problem solved. On the C: drive is a folder called "drivers", and for some reason the install media don't have these drivers (blutooth and Intel NVMe-controller). I then copied this folder to the install-media and then choose "install driver", pointed to this folder, and then the NVMe drive showed up. Now Windows 11 is clean-installed :)

Its the Intel RST drivers (I assume it has an Optane NVME) Came across this on the wife's ASUS Zenbook, had to copy the drivers to the root of the installer USB and add them manually. Glad it's all sorted

This really helped a lot! Thank you very much!

I only downloaded the Intel Rapid Storage Technology (IRST) Driver from the Asus website for my model. I installed it installation time, and, bammo!, the internal drive showed up.
